They are great looking boots, Monbla. Very elegant.
Here's a shot of mine. It has an 8X rating and I would view that as comparable to Stetson. I don't have an 8X Stetson but I do have a couple of 6X and the Serratelli is just a tiny bit nicer in terms of finish and feel. Great hats. If you like the styling go for it.
Thats a great looking hat!Old Thread , But I remember Serratelli Hats from the Rodeo Days , the Hats the guys wore were Great . I know (not that it matters) Brad Paisley wears Serratelli Hats . They actually make Custom Hats , plus OTC Hats of various Qualities , some are Super Good (not bad prices) , some Wool , some Fur Felt . Made in the USA . I bought a Serratelli Open Road Style in Black 2X , it doesn't say Wool , but I emailed PFIWestern asking what type of felt was it made of ? Just a moment ago . We'll see . But I picked that 2X OR Style (except the crown is higher , 5" creased) off eBay for $30 in excellent condition just last night , New I think they go for $109-$99 , around there . I'll see if I can put up a picture ...
Nice Looking Hat , I like the Taller Crown than the OR , and I know they're still sold in Black , Bone , and Pecan , maybe more .
Looks nice. I've never owned a Serratelli.Here's mine. 10 x in a Heather gray with a gray bound edge and indigo liner. I usually save it for dress, but it's a very well made hat.
Newark NJ?, exclaimed like the salsa commercial.
this area used to have many hat factories
A 2X=wool

not much activity, limited styles and colours
very popular with the bull riders.
Thats a great looking hat!
I def wanna see some pics!Yep , They were very Popular with the Bull Riders . Thanks , I always said I'd never buy a wool Hat , but I knew 2X (even if it didn't say) was probably wool . PFIWestern hasn't responded , yet , but its a big outfit , I figured it might take a while . Still looks good , Especially for what I paid , but at the New Off the Shelf Price , I knew it was probably wool for that one . I don't have FB , so I couldn't get to the juicy details . Thanks though !
Thats a Great Looker Mm25 ! The Hats I saw were definitely Nice , a X is just a X , but I'm sure a 10X is WAY Better than a 2X . But the Xers have their own definitions , each one .
Thanks Bob ! It'll serve the purpose . Haha ! I sure wasn't surprised , but it does look good . That's why I only offered what I did . Its a LO , too ! I hope it comes packaged right and well , intact .
I have that magic talent as well .I've never owned one because I prefer the dimensions & style of the Old West for my hats. I don't often wear a rodeo style of hat.
On the road on a job & working in constant rain a few yrs ago I needed a backup hat after my good hat finally soaked thru after 3 days, so I went to town & bought a Rodeo King. That thing soaked thru the first day & literally fell apart the second day. The day I bought that Rodeo King I was what we call a magician...someone who can take good money & turn it into shit real quick.
